PS3 DVD/BD Player Region free?

[Gamedefeater]

Thinking about importing some DVDs soon.. is the 80 gb PS3's DVD player region free? TIA for any help.

I'm 99.9% sure it is not region free. But there is that .1% that I'm wrong.

Thanks. I am pretty sure that it is NOT, but I just need to be sure. Does anyone know for sure?

DVD player is not region free. As a BD player, the regions are different (not region free). Most PAL regions are region B (Europe and Australia). Most of Asia (except Japan) is Region C). North America and Japan are Region A.

I can guarantee it is not region free for DVD's, I have a Malata DVP 520D DVD player that I use to play PAL and non-region 1 DVDs. I stuck a Pal DVD into the PS3 and it wouldn't play it, it hated my disc.....

Anyways, if you can figure out some way to get it to work that would be great, then I could up convert them and I wouldn't need my Malata anymore....

FYI-> I'm using a 60GB Model

I just like how the US and Japan are now in the same region! WOOWOO!
